Barcelona
MIAMI, Aug. 20 
Fall in love with Europe and Cruising Italian Style this autumn on a
cruise with Costa, Europe's Number One Cruise Line. Incredible fares
for 7-night sailings beginning at just $449 per person come complete
with visits to some of the old world's most celebrated destinations
including Venice, Rome, Barcelona and Naples. Travelers may choose
from sailings on the Costa Pacifica, recently inaugurated in June; new
sister ships Costa Serena and Costa Concordia; Costa Fortuna, Costa
Victoria and Costa Romantica. Attractive fares are available
throughout September, October and November.
Seven-night sailings aboard the Costa Fortuna, feature fares as low as
$449 on November 9 from Venice with stops in Bari, Katakolon
(Olympia), Santorini, Mykonos, Rhodes and Dubrovnik. Costa's newest
ship, the Costa Pacifica features fares as low as $779 departing on

Barcelona, Palma de Mallorca, Tunisia, Valletta and Palermo. This
innovative new ship is inspired by music and features its own
recording studio as well as an exclusive soundtrack created for it by
one of Italy's most famed composers.
"In-the-know travelers have long realized that fall is one of the best
times for European travel with its lower airfares, fewer crowds and
mild temperatures," said Maurice Zarmati, president and ceo of Costa
Cruise LinesNorth America. "To top it off, these cruises average
around $56 per day per person and come complete with accommodations,
meals and entertainment. You simply can't find a land-based vacation
that comes near the value."
Costa offers a "true European experience" to travelers, combining the
charm of the old world with incredible innovations of today. This
special brand of Italian warmth and European sophistication makes
cruising with Costa much more than a voyage to a new and exciting
destination - it's an experience that creates lifetime memories that

fresh pastas, warm cappuccinos, international guests who become
friends from around the world and charming Italian greetings travelers
hear such as "buongiorno" and "buonasera," sailing with Costa brings
the passion and vitality of Italy to sea.
